In Singapore there are few condo buildings popular among expats for the amenities, community etc. is there something similar?

Business bay for sure. Super confusing access if you have to commute in. And still close to many amenities. What are you looking for in Marina specifically that you dani get in business bay / adjacent?

Thanks all for the replies🤝🏻 I ll definitely look around Business Bay. I am transferring from Singapore and I was thinking that out of all the areas, Marina would be more walkable

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
